Built by the Electro-Motive Division of General Motors starting in 1976 for Amtrak, these were adopted by commuter operations in both Canada and the United States. Owing to their versatile design and based on the freight service GP40-2, many are still in service today!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLike the GP40-2, the F40PH featured a turbocharged EMD 645E3 V16 cylinder diesel engine generating 3000 horsepower (later units were bumped up to 3200 HP). Geared for a maximum of 103 or 110 MPH, these would become popular in long distance, intercity and commuter service. To provide heating, lighting and air conditioning, the F40PH featured a Head End Power (HEP) generator connected by alternator to the prime mover. On many later F40s and rebuilds, the HEP generator was powered by a separate CAT or Cummins auxiliary diesel engine at the rear of the carbody. This often necessitated the extension of the body to accommodate the additional engine.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pagebuilder-column-group\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pagebuilder-column-line\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pagebuilder-column\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eNEW!
